Day 1 on the ground yesterday: First walk around the Village, have lunch at the Barentz Gastro Pub, the world’s most Northern pub Lol.
Followed by a foray out of the village into the Adventdalen stretch in a snow cat to find Northern Lights.. Spoiler- way too cloudy for auroras, but it was an awesome time with a very cool group of folks from all over the world. Not too worried though, with 24hr darkness, the odds are good we will see them before we leave!
Included was being shown the wreckage of a WW2 plane and hanging out with the Guide, whom told us some good timbits of local information.. Great time!

PS- the night time filters on these iPhones really are bloody impressive, it was factually deep dark out there..
Big day planned for today!
